"Sherita Newbern has applied for licenses to operate child care centers at each of the locations currently owned and operated by Kid Co," wrote state Family and Social Services Administration spokeswoman Marni Lemons in an email to Kenney.

FSSA has received documentation in the form of a bill of sale indicating that ownership of the centers located in Franklin and Greenwood has been transferred from Srivastava to Newbern.

"FSSA is in the process of reviewing all of the application documentation," Lemons wrote in an email.

FSSA made it clear that no matter what the day care calls itself, it will still have to abide by guidelines.

"As with all licensed child care centers, once a license is approved, the licensee is accountable to the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration's Bureau of Child Care to meet health, safety and other regulations and standards," Lemons said in an email.

Kid Co. can request an impartial agency review and can stay open to families during that process.

However, when contacted Friday, Kid Co.'s attorney Robert Baker said he doesn't know if he will request a review, because he is withdrawing his representation.

Baker also told Kenney he had no knowledge of the day care's tax problems.

"I have no idea about that stuff," said Baker when asked about the $18,334 owed in property taxes.

FSSA took action to shut down the Greenwood day care after finding dozens of health and safety violations.

In her 11-page decision, the judge highlighted concern after concern, including that the center used cruel, harsh or unusual discipline on five occasions.

The decision also found Kid Co. did not supervise children on three occasions.

"Although the Center has corrected or attempted to correct several areas of noncompliance, including terminating staff and conducting in-service training, the Center was repeatedly out of compliance with Indiana's child care center rules," read the decision.

The document said Kid Co. failed to notify Child Protective Services of a rash and redness on a child's "private area."

"The Center disputes that this incident was a reportable event," read the decision. "The Director of the Center was not aware of the one-hour time limit to report suspected instances of child abuse or neglect."

The judge listed several examples of workers violating the no-touch policy.

"A bus driver employed by the Center smacked down the hands of two boys who were arguing on the bus," read the decision. "Due to the Center's no touch policy, the bus driver was terminated from his position."

The judge also took issue with cruel verbal language used with children, including an incident when a teacher was trying to get a child to take a nap.

"The child head-butted the teacher. The teacher let go of the child, who slipped to the floor and she yelled, 'get this child away from me or I am going to kill him,'" read the document. "The teacher was terminated and staff were in-serviced regarding proper procedures for handling of children and talking to children."

The day care can also request a judicial review, which is another 30-day process, Lemons said.

Parents will not be notified about the judge's decision to revoke the license, however they have been notified every time the center was placed on probation, which has happened several times, Lemons said.
